Intermission: Snakes, Pork, and Shrubbery

I am taking a break from the bobbybox for a few weeks to recharge the enthusiasm (or sheer stubborness) needed to continue with those minis. So getting back to Shadows of Brimstone, here is the last of the 30mm based minis I have from the wave 1.5 shipment. Only the XL Darkstone Hydra and the […]

Shadows of Brimstone: All the wave 1.5 resin Heroes

In a spurt of “let’s get this over with” I have painted the rest of the wave 1.5 heroes for Shadows of Brimstone. 17 of them finished today, which together with the Nun and the two Orphans I did earlier make the full set of 20, as follows: A note about the resin used. […]

Shadows of 7 Sins and see-through minis

…5 Gooooolden Rings! ‘Tis the first week of Christmas, and time is scarce in the face of working at a shop and my sons birthday celebrations. But I have managed to squeeze some painting in now and then, resulting in these: First, a recap of how to deal with translucent minis: Clear minis […]

Shadows of Brimstone: The Guardian of Targa

In the Shadows of Brimstone: City of the Ancients base game set, the otherworld the heroes travel to through the void portals they find down the dank mineshafts is the frozen Plataeu of Targa. This is a seemingly abandoned alien city locked in cold winter’s embrace. I like to think of it as akin to […]

More from The Others: 7 Sins and Shadows of Brimstone

In the Others: 7 Sins, the agents of F.A.I.T.H. are fighting a losing fight against the encroaching forces of Sin, whose corruption already has manifested in large parts of the city’s remaining population…infesting all social strata from the very bottom to the very top. Such as The Mayor Your regular Dr Octopus. Colours of […]

Shadows of Brimstone: The Scafford Gang, Nun and Orphans

Continuing the foray into the Shadows of Brimstone wave 1.5, we come to the Scafford Gang proper. This being the gang of betentacled mutant outlaws that also include the large Dark Stone Brutes from last post. Colonel Scafford himself heading up his gangers. The Scafford Gang are […]

Shadows of Brimstone: Random Large Enemies

Travelling back to Shadows of Brimstone, the wierd west tentacular horror scifi mashup dungeon crawler! Beyond the base game sets there are loads of expansions to add to the game, thanks to the kickstarter blowing up beyond Flying Frogs wildest expectations. The delivery should have been August 2014 according to the KS campaign itself. The base […]

Shadows of Brimstone: Custodians of Targa

Plonking away at the backlog of wave 1.5 Shadows of Brimstone minis. The Custodians of Targa are spidery robotic servant caretaker automatons, reminiscent of the Dwarven Spider Guardians from Skyrim. The similarities are more than superficial; these are also leftovers of an ancient civilisation that has dissappeared, and patrol the empty halls of their builders, […]

Shadows of Brimstone: Undead Gunslinger and his Outlaws

Enemies with ranged attacks are actually pretty scarce in this game, or rather, none of the base game enemies have ranged attacks to speak of. Enter the Undead Gunslinger and Outlaws “The fastest Dead in the West” The Undead Gunslinger. With a sigar like that, it has to be the remains of The Good. (from […]

Shadows of Brimstone: The Harvesters from Beyond

“Harvesters from Beyond” are large treasure seeking aliens crossing the void into our world (or any Otherworld the heroes might be exploring) wearing massive, armoured “deep sea diving” encounter suits. As you might imagine, they are bloody terrifying in game as they are like tanks and very difficult to put down. I did them in different shades […]

Shadows of Brimstone: Reservoir Bandits

Mr. Pink: [about Mr. Blonde] He seems okay now, but he was crazy in the store. Mr. White: This is what he was doing… [mimics randomly shooting innocent bystanders] Mr. White: Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Mr. Blonde: Yeah, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. I told ’em not to touch the alarm… but they touched it. […]

Shadows of Brimstone: The Scourge Rats

Taking up some of the slack on Shadows of Brimstone, next up is the Scourge Rats and their three-burrowed nest. These are small enemies, and as such, there are a lot of them. A dozen of the little blighters, to be precise. The Scourge Rats are mutated by the darkstone making them them big mutant monster […]
